For once I will endorse one of Jim's random links.

The channel is question is run by an anti scammer who has made a
profession of disrupting and taking down scammers who typically pray
on the old and vulnerable. Basically all those cold calls you get that
drop you through to an Indian call centre that will then try and scam
access to your bank account etc.

Unlike many that just scam bait, he is always calm and collected, and
uses a considerable skillset to gain control over the scammers
computers and networks. He even featured in a recent BBC Panorama
showing a take down of a big scam call centre.




Thanks for that reply. Now I will watch the video

I just keep scammers on the line for as long as possible so they have
less time to try other (less vigilant) folks.

I do exactly the same when I have the chance. I think the longest is 40
minutes. It was a while ago. I had prepared a Virtualbox instance of
Windows which was empty.
